Fun-lovin' J/24 Nationals In Texas Wants YOU!
(Dallas, TX- May 10-14)- "Promise we won't bite, we'll just love ya to death". Or, why you should jump into a J/24 and sail the Nationals in Texas? Ever heard of Billy Bob's? You ain't liven' until ya been down there. Mechanical bulls and all the rest. Texas is "big" and renowned for its larger than life entertainment, including the biggest "honky tonks" on the planet.
A three-time J/24 World Champion that just sailed the J/24 Texas State Championships will be participating on BRUSCHETTA. Mauricio Santa Cruz is practicing not just for the J/24 South Americans in Montevideo, Uruguay or the J/24 Worlds happening soon in Buenos Aires, Argentina, he's gunning for the first "open" J/24 Worlds in Rochester, NY in 2012. Last word we heard, he may yet be converted to a "Texan" yet, Brazil and the girls on Ipanema Beach may be nice-- but Mauricio is now a believer they grow them prettier in Texas!
Hosted by Dallas Corinthian YC from May 10th to 14th, the teams will have lotsa entertainment options, not just Billy Bob's, but "family friendly" excitement at Six Flags Amusement Park, too (kids generally love roller-coasters). The 2011 Layline J/24 U.S. National Championship will be held at DCYC in Oak Point, Texas, just 45 miles northeast of the DFW metroplex on the northeast shore of Lake Lewisville. The happy, fun-loving crew produced a quickie J/24 US Nationals video for ya'll to enjoy on YouTube. Sailing Photo credits- Bruce McDonald. For more information on sailing the J/24 US Nationals Dallas
